Obesity Prevention

The Khalili Foundation's mission is to promote healthy lifestyles through awareness, education and action, recognizing the need to proactively address the obesity epidemic through early intervention with children and their families.

In association with the Khalili Center for Bariatric Care (www.khalilicenter.com), the Khalili Foundation was launched in 2010 by a group of committed physicians who saw the critical need for direct intervention in the lives of young people (and families) who are struggling with, or at-risk for, obesity.

By working with local organizations and public schools to promote childhood obesity awareness and prevention—and connecting the at-risk population with much needed resources—The Foundation seeks to enable children and their families to make better and healthier choices in their everyday living. Our ultimate goal is to break the cycle of obesity through knowledge and empowerment.

Healthy Living Campaign– In association with the Clinton Foundation’s Alliance For A Healthier Generation, the Khalili Foundation dispenses Physicians and Registered Dietitians directly into classrooms to teach kids on a grassroots level about effects of obesity, good nutrition and how children can take healthy living into their own hands.

BE THE CHANGE Pedometer Campaign– Allows children and their families to walk together by providing pedometer kits with yearlong walking programs.

Health Education and Resources on Obesity Prevention for Teachers, Parents and anyone else who works with children. Physicians and Registered Dietitians donate their time, expertise and resources to educate about effects of obesity, good nutrition and how children can take healthy living into their own hands.

Public Advocacy– The Foundation has an advocacy campaign dedicated to educating the general public about basic nutrition, food labeling and physical fitness—and how to create healthy lifestyle changes.

It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute for your pic to upload, depending on how big it is.

You're going to see this message every time you post a new pic. So, we're making the text really long so that it'll take you at least five picture uploads to read it all. Here's what we're thinking...While your first picture is uploading think about someone you want to kiss. When you upload your second pic think about one friend who you can beat in a race. On your third photo upload think about your favorite food that begins with the letter H. While your fourth picture is uploading think about how great it would be if you were a world class breakdancer. While your fifth picture is uploading try to think of the best candy to eat if you were a mime spending a month in New Zealand. If you upload a sixth and seventh picture please just read all of this again.
